Title: The PRIVY COUNCIL in ENGLAND to the LORD DEPUTY and COUNCIL of IRELAND.
Description:

You have received her Majesty's pleasure in what sort you should proceed with Feagh McHugh, referring the conditions to such memorials as should be brought over by Sir Henry Harrington; but as he is not going over with sufficient expedition, we send you a memorial of some things honorable for the Queen and not over-hard for him (Feagh).

 

(1.) He is to be received to mercy together with his wife, sons, and followers, and restored to his house and livings by letters patent, yielding some service. (2.) He must promise to banish all strangers. (3.) Any persons appertaining to him on committing stealths or outrages shall be by him sent to abide the trial of law. (4.) He shall answer at assizes and sessions. (5.) He is to deliver a sufficient pledge, to be exchanged every three months.

 

If he insist on his demand to be restored to Balinocore, and will not be reduced without that, let him have it, and hold it of the Queen, who is at great charges to keep it.

 

From the Court at Greenwich, 8 August 1596.

 

Signed: Jo. Cant., Tho. Egerton, W. Burghley, W. Cobham, T. Buckehurst, Ro. Cecyll, J. Fortescue.

 

II. Postscript of a letter from the Council, dated 16 July.--Here is a solicitor of Feagh McHugh's, who desires to be received into her Majesty's mercy. She is resolved to give him his pardon. Upon Sir Henry Harrington's coming to you give him pardon for his life and lands, as is used in such cases, without further troubling her Majesty.
